Seems to have gotten quite the workover, if the real item is as nice as the pics show, this might be good money

In the 2nd last picture of the spare wheel in the trunk, is that a bag of doggie dump left in there, possibly to deter theives?

Not a bad looking car and has possibilities. Shame about the dash. Strange how they try to mask it in the way they took most of the pictures......!

I don’t know if I can go back to an 850 sedan. I had a red ‘96 GLT & spent 2+ years fixing it, sorting the electrics and my daughter totaled it the first time she drove it solo with her shiny new license. I still dream about that a-pillar and how sad it looked. Lol.
Looking for a V90 to be my next Volvo, at the very least a T5.

2017 XC90 Inscription - My best Volvo by far, but Ex-wife departed & I had to sell. 😕
2001 S80 T6 - rebuilt trans, head gasket, fixed & sold
1997 V70 - kid car, sold
1996 850 GLT - found under bridge, 2 year refurb project, commuter car, kid car, T-Boned - SIPS saved passenger. Totaled.
1997 VW GTI VR6 - exceedingly fast.
1971 VW Type II/231 - it was pointed out by management that the children would be killed in it.

Hope the car did its job and the daughter was OK.

""The year 2000 Volvo was purchased in 2000. Single owner. No modifications. It has not been driven very often in the last 4 years. When I tried it recently, everything was in good condition, except it may not start and needs to be restarted a few times. I was told by a dealer that the fuel-pump-relay may need to be replaced. Since I am not an expert on cars, I prefer to sell it. $1500 or make a reasonable offer.""
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94
